Texas, Wyoming, Korea, Oh My...!!

So We got some news on Daniel's job today. The good news is that he got the job here in Texas! The bad news is his " Carear Field Manager" ( some guy at some other base that manages the goings on of the Crew Chief carear field ) will not release him to the assignment. Which means he can not take the job. Because he has been in for 10 years, and will be putting on Tech. Sargent in Feb, he is like super HOT for a short tour most likely to Korea. No this does not mean Korean women find him super attractive, although I think he is super "HOT". This basically means its his turn to do the dirty work. For the past I would guess 20 or so years this assignment has been " unaccompanied" meaning you could not bring your family with you, and we have had several friends who have had to be away from there family's for 12 months. But about 6 months ago they opened this assignment up to accompanied tours, meaning your family can apply to come too, but instead of only going for 1 year, you have to commit to 3 years. We are hoping that if he does get orders to Korea, we will be able to go with him. I don't even want to think about a year with out him. Sooooooo we are pretty sure this is going to be where we end up before Aug of next year. He still has his application in for the job in Wyoming, but if they wouldn't let him take the job here, the chances are pretty slim they will let him have that job either. Sooooooo, who wants to take a vacation to Korea! ; ) I was looking forward to being here another 4 years and seeing Charli Jo grow up a bit! You all will just have to remind her every day who her favorite Aunt is! I was also excited about Alison being 13 before we had to move, but oh well. I think the big kids are excited about moving. They were really excited about going to Wyoming, or Montana, but last week when we told them daddy got a job here and we would be staying in Texas another 4 years, they didn't act as excited. Where ever we go I'm sure we will like it. Two good things about going to Korea is that when you leave there your are almost 99% guaranteed orders to the base of your choice, and he would be working on A-10's , instead of F-15's, so he would be qualified to work on more than one plane, so that would open up a lot more possible bases we could choose from. We are kinda hoping he will go a head and get the orders so we can start planning for whatever is next. Now that I have taken the time to type all of this, some Air Force AFI ( rules/laws) will change and all of this information will be null and void! : ) That's how the military seams to work!

Every thing else is going well around here. The babies are growing like weeds. Well Briceson is any how. EveyLynn has decided to take a break from growing for the past 6 months, but she has started talking quite a bit. I guess she can only do one thing at a time! Ali and I are the only ones who can tell what she is saying, but its a good start. We think we are going to be finalizing Bricesons adoption some time around the 1st week of December. We can try and push it back a bit if we need to so it is closer to Christmas break. Just let me know Lin. Um.... What else? we are going to also try and come home for Christmas this year, but not sure how all that is going to work out. Well, I got to get. Time to get babies up and start my whirl wind of a day! Its been a rainy few days so I have to think of ways to keep all four of them entertained in doors, and this gets to be a little like putting a cat in a bucket of water, with Briceson and Isaiah. B wakes up in the morning asking for " side peas"! That means "out side please". We might be making a trip to the McDonalds with an indoor Play-Play if it gets too bad. I love you all and will keep you updated on the Great Olsen Move of 2010! There could be more twists and turns to come! XOXOXO
